"In last month’s Newsdesk it was incorrectly reported that Blasting Services Ltd, the wholly owned subsidiary of Exchem plc, had acquired Celtic Rock Services Ltd as part of a major business expansion. This item should have said Blasting Services have acquired the ‘quarry drilling and blasting business’ of Celtic Rock Services, which is concentrated mainly in the South-West and North Wales. We would like to apologize for this error and regret any embarrassment this item may have caused the parties concerned."
